Air pressurization equipment

Abstract

Provided is air pressurization equipment that is easily installed on the body, has excellent stability during use, and is for spasticity prevention. Equipment that is to be installed on a wrist or a limb that includes a wrist is an airtight airbag that is configured from a cylindrical bag body 11 that expands or contracts as a result of supply or expulsion of air. The bag body 11 is formed from asynthetic resin sheet. A pressurization part that communicates with open parts 16 that are on either side is formed at an inside center hole in the bag body 11. When the equipment is installed, a limbis inserted from an open part 16 of the expanded cylindrical bag body 11, the inside center hole in the cylindrical bag body 11 is made to contact the body, and the equipment is moved in the insertion or removal direction while being rotated, is held in a desired position, and, in that state, pressurizes and constrains an affected area.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to air pressurization equipment for the purpose of preventing spasms, and particularly relates to air pressurization equipment for people whose limbs including wrists and fingers have contractures that limit the range of joint movement. Background technique [0002] Traditionally, in rehabilitation medicine, the diseases and disorders of the central nervous system such as cerebrovascular disorders, traumatic brain injuries, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injuries, and the dysfunction of the limbs accompanied by peripheral nerve disorders, joints, and muscle disorders have been promoted. Various research developments to improve its functionality. [0003] For example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 6-20477 (Patent Document 1), a "function improver for fingers and the like" is proposed, which relates to a function improver for fingers and the like for improving the functions of wrist joints / hands / fingers , by solvi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, the palm rehabilitation device described in Patent Document 4 cannot be used for rehabilitation of other joints such as the wrist because it is a device for restoring the function of the palm.

In addition, in the body-worn exerciser described in Patent Document 5, since the Velcro is used as the putting on and taking off mechanism of the air bag, there is a problem in stability during use.

In addition, in the rehabilitation device described in Patent Document 6, since a belt for fixing to the limbs is required on the surface of the cylindrical bag, it is difficult to wear it by one person, and there is a problem in stability during use.
